We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Hauppauge before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Hauppauge easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
